SCHWEITZER 1995 Problem 9

A serpentine is a sequence of points $P_1 , ..., P_m$ in a plane, not necessarily all different, such that the distance between $P_i$ and $P_{i+1}$ is at least 1, and the segments $P_i P_{i +1}$ are alternately horizontal and vertical. Construct a compact set in which there is a sequence of serpentines with arbitrary long lengths but there is no closed serpentine ( $P_m = P_i$ for some i < m).
